Mayor Nathan Blackwell has been appointed to serve on the Florida League of Cities Board of Directors. Mayor Blackwell is the first Council member from the City of St. Cloud to be appointed to this board.

The Florida League of Cities serves the needs of the state’s cities and promotes local self-government. The Florida League of Cities represents more than 400 cities, towns and villages throughout Florida, helping to ensure that local decisions are made at the local level.

“I am honored to be appointed to this board, and especially honored to be the first from St. Cloud to serve in this role,” Mayor Blackwell said.

Mayor Blackwell, who has served as City of St. Cloud Mayor since 2016, also serves on the Florida League of Mayors Board of Directors, and on the Executive Board of the Florida Tri-County League of Cities, of which he will be sworn in as President in December.

Mayor Blackwell is senior pastor of Cornerstone Family Church. He and his wife, Trish, have two adult children and five grandchildren.
